I still think that if it's weird, stupid, or funny, I learn about it--but this was new to me.

Cheese Weasel Day.

And we missed it--it was April 3rd. On that fateful day, in 1992, someone saw a weasel with a Kraft single in its jaws. The Cheese Weasel--and so April 3rd must be its day.

John Biggs, a blogger for http://techcrunch.com, says he first learned of it when he showed up for work on April 3rd and a fantastic spread of gourmet cheeses was laid out. He also learned the Cheese Weasel leaves cheese under the keyboards of good tech workers--sure enough, there it was.
